Modular fuel systems

THIELMANN WEW’s fuel storage and dispensing systems are available in payloads ranging from 2,000L to 45,000L for transport on low profile 4×4 vehicles up to large 10×10 logistics trucks.

These self-contained fuel systems are fitted with integrated pumping systems, providing all equipment needed to store and dispense fuel as part of a vehicle-mounted transportable solution, including ILHS / DROPS / PLS or as a ‘drop and go’ camp, vehicle and aircraft fuelling solution. The double-shelled self-bunded stainless tanks require no site preparation, fulfil all environmental requirements and are designed to be dispensing fuel within minutes of their arrival on site.

Modular water systems

THIELMANN WEW’s water container solutions are designed to provide potable water for deployed operations, ranging from 2,000L to 40,000L. Tanks can be equipped with on-board filtration / reverse-osmosis, heating, cooling, automatic chlorination, UV radiation and pressure regulating accumulators to provide for the transport, storage and purification of potable water.

Compatible with on-board vehicle cranes, ILHS/PLS/DROPS or forklift handling systems, THIELMANN WEW’s water container systems provide a complete logistics solution for 4×4 vehicle / trailer for deployed operations, right up through medium and heavy vehicle-mounted, to a complete potable water ‘drop and go’ camp installation.
